Why am I shown this account in the Mastodon Android app home? (lemmy.zip)

I saw this account twice which actually contains political messages. I'm used to weird posts of people who use hashtags or get boosted, but I wanted to ask just in case because despite knowing that I can mute or block them I find worrying the possibility of being shown political messages that I don't want to see.
Or is it my fault? I don't follow it, nor I see hashtags nor that it got boosted nor image alt.
My account is on mastodon.social.

Just mute the account or block it and you'll never see the user again :)

    I know but I expect my mastodon server to be transparent, without dark practices. If worst case came to be, they are trying to manipulate people by injecting posts, and this is a deal breaker for me.

    I hear you. But you are on the wrong instance then. mastodon.social is known for its spamming and hostile account and the lack of moderator responsibilities. I have personally blocked mastodon.social on instance level because of this.

    fosstodon.org is better in my honest opinion.
